CAPO: 4


Intro: G+G D MajorD   G+G D MajorD

verse 1

Just paint a picture of the world
  G+G       D MajorD
In gentle pastel shades

Indistinct and somehow blurred
   G+G       D MajorD
Like childhood escapades
  G minorGm       D MajorD
The painting box is rather dear
    G+G           A7A7
But the paints themselves are cheap
G+G
Leave your pack at the side of the road
            D MajorD
I'll show you where to sleep

verse 2

Dead brown weeds in a ditch at the side
   G+G        D MajorD
Of a field of burning corn

The road opens out before you
     G+G          D MajorD
Like the womb where you were born
    G minorGm      D MajorD
There's no need to pretend again
  G+G         A7A7
To try and earn your keep
G+G
Leave your pack at the side of the road
            D MajorD
I'll show you where to sleep


Instrumental: D MajorD   G+G D MajorD   G+G D MajorD G minorGm D MajorD G+G A7A7 G+G   D MajorD


Bridge

  F#F#         G+G
And crowds will gather in the sun
  A7A7       D MajorD
As stone madonnas weep
    F#F#      G+G
And the shepherd is a good man
             A7A7
As he tends his flock of sheep


verse 3
  D MajorD
In case you find your tortoise shell
  G+G       D MajorD
Is getting rather tight

You can wrap yourself in your magic cloak
  G+G       D MajorD
And disappear from sight
  G minorGm         D MajorD
And I will stand guard over you
  G+G          A7A7
As through the door you creep
G+G
Leave your pack at the side of the road
            D MajorD
I'll show you where to sleep
